Last Saturday we had Hanson & Hauraki out wide on each side when we had the ball. Last year Hock was destructive out wide but he, along with Patterson, caused Warrington problems. Dobson must start as we looked better with him on. J. Walne may be a little small for the middle but he did play well against Leeds last year.

According to social Media Kevin Locke been added to the squad for tomorrow

Here's a preview of the game with St Helens. Pity no Kev Locke. The sooner he gets on the field the better. He will be a superstar www.nothingbutleague.com/super-l ... st-helens/

He replaces Walton in the squad the dilemma we now have is do we leave Evalds out the 17 as it's massive risk expecting Locke to play the full 80. As i can't see us having both Evalds & Fages on the bench.

You could leave Evalds out (though I agree, I'd prefer to see him in the side every week). If Locke pulls up again, you could drop BJB back to fullback and push Paterson in to the centres and MCB out to the wing. We wouldn't need to carry an extra back on the bench in that case.......

But if you leave Fages out where is your interchange hooker?

Nope i'd take the gamble and leave out Evalds, Not sure who else...... could be anyone. Fages off the bench could be a game changer as well!

I hope Locke is really 100% fit, if so then I`m sure we all agree he has to be in the team. But he had this groin problem last year and seemingly still has it will he be plagued all year ?
Happy that Niall is a very able back up, just nervous about Locke starting and breaking down within 20 mins and us having to rejig the backline to cover.

Will be good seeing Locke IF he's fully fit, it all smacks a little of getting the big name import out on the pitch and use his name.

If we're going with a utility player surely Walton should get the nod for his ability in the centres and back row.

Didn't take long too find the level

If Locke is fit then he should play.
If ANY doubt he should not play & ensure that he is available against Hull & hopefully the remainder of the season.

Evalds should be starting tonight, he has a game under his belt where as Locke won't be up to full match fitness and the young lad deserves it.

You can't leave out a fit Kevin Locke. If you went by that logic when would Locke get back in the team? Evalds time for the #1 shirt will come, in the mean time he will have to play understudy to one of the best full backs in the world. I'm

This

Although I might play Evalds instead of Johnson. Harsh on Johnson but someone's gotta miss out

It seems strange how Locke was omitted from the squad on Tues, yet is apparently 100% fit by Weds afternoon. If he was fully fit surely he would've been in the original squad list.

Although if he scores the winning try tonight I'm sure no one will be complaining.

Correct.
If he's genuinely fit,he plays and Evalds misses out.
If we're worried about him breaking down,he shouldn't be in the team for any game,let alone Saints.
For me,Evalds is either full back,or misses out.
We can't afford a bench spot for cover.

Harris just said on GMR that Locke starts, Walne in for Hauraki and Tasi also in the 17

Agreed, I'm Evalds biggest fan, but if Locke is fit he plays. Evalds will be a super league full back for years to come though, I just hope its for Salford.

Lockes having a stormer!

Why play him, what a waste

Well selecting Locke proved to be a masterstroke. How depressing it must be for Evalds to be dropped for a half fit 'superstar' after being our best player in the previous game.

The question is who made the call? Harris or the good doctor?
